Micro(RNA)-managing muscle wasting [PDF]

Journal of Applied Physiology, 2019
Progressive skeletal muscle wasting is a natural consequence of aging and is common in chronic and acute diseases. Loss of skeletal muscle mass and function (strength) often leads to frailty, decreased independence, and increased risk of hospitalization.

Nutritional, pharmacological and hormonal manipulation of muscle metabolism [PDF]

, 2010
PhDSarcopenia and cachexia occur when there is a deficit between the rates of muscle protein synthesis and breakdown, such that a negative balance exists.

Respiratory and Peripheral Muscle Weakness and Body Composition Abnormalities in Non-Cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis Patients: Gender Differences

Biomedicines, 2022
As demonstrated in COPD, bronchiectasis patients may experience respiratory and peripheral muscle dysfunction. We hypothesized that respiratory and peripheral (upper and lower limbs) muscle function and nutritional status may be more significantly ...

Systemic Profiles of microRNAs, Redox Balance, and Inflammation in Lung Cancer Patients: Influence of COPD

Biomedicines, 2021
Lung cancer (LC) risk increases in patients with chronic respiratory diseases (COPD). MicroRNAs and redox imbalance are involved in lung tumorigenesis in COPD patients.

Iron Replacement and Redox Balance in Non-Anemic and Mildly Anemic Iron Deficiency COPD Patients: Insights from a Clinical Trial

Biomedicines, 2021
In COPD patients, non-anemic iron deficiency (NAID) is a common systemic manifestation. We hypothesized that in COPD patients with NAID, iron therapy may improve systemic oxidative stress.

Curcumin and Resveratrol Improve Muscle Function and Structure through Attenuation of Proteolytic Markers in Experimental Cancer-Induced Cachexia

Molecules, 2021
Muscle wasting and cachexia are prominent comorbidities in cancer. Treatment with polyphenolic compounds may partly revert muscle wasting. We hypothesized that treatment with curcumin or resveratrol in cancer cachectic mice may improve muscle phenotype ...

The Proteolytic Systems of Muscle Wasting [PDF]

Recent Advances in DNA & Gene Sequences (Formerly Recent Patents on DNA & Gene Sequences), 2016
Skeletal muscle represents one of the most plastic tissues of our body thanks to the presence of heterogeneous population of myofibers that confer to skeletal muscle the functional plasticity necessary to modulate its morpho-fuctional properties in response to a wide range of external factors.

Association between histological diaphragm atrophy and ultrasound diaphragm expiratory thickness in ventilated patients

Journal of Intensive Care, 2022
Background Diaphragm fiber atrophy has been evidenced after short periods of mechanical ventilation (MV) and related to critical illness-associated diaphragm weakness.

Effects of Exercise Training on Circulating Biomarkers of Endothelial Function in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Biomedicines, 2023
Introduction: In stable patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is an effective, safe and cost-effective non-pharmacological treatment.

CHAC1 inactivation is effective to preserve muscle glutathione but is insufficient to protect against muscle wasting in cachexia.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Muscle wasting is one of the main characteristics of cachexia associated with cancer and other chronic diseases and is often exacerbated by antineoplastic agents.
